Of the three clubs, Pirates are the ones who have confirmed the most exits and have done this before the arrival of a new coach who will replace Jose Riveiro.
Sundowns have not confirmed any exits, but there are two players whose contracts they did not extend and have therefore left, as revealed by agent Mike Makaab.
Sundowns are currently in the USA for the FIFA Club World Cup which kicks off this weekend and there are quite a few players who were left out of the squad which could leave the club in the coming weeks.
